A university-level course on the theory of computation covering automata, formal languages, regular expressions, and computability, delivered as a lecture video series by TU Delft. It is hosted as a YouTube playlist.

One commenter says they highly recommend it, saying the videos made regular expressions obvious and they use that understanding almost daily.

   I’ve deeply enjoyed his videos and after the course in which we treated the material, regexes were all of a sudden extremely obvious. I benefit from it almost daily.

   Accompanying book I would recommend: Introduction to the theory of Computing by Michael Sipser.

   Credits go to TU Delft professors for architecting the course.
